1. Parallel lines Lines that are parallel have the same slope or gradient x y m1m1 m2m2  m 1 = m 2

2. Example 1 What is the equation of the line parallel to 3x – 4y + 22 = 0, through the point (–3, 5)? 3x – 4y + 22 = 0 4y = 3x + 22 y = ¾x + 5½  m 1 = ¾  m 2 = ¾ y – y 1 = m(x – x 1 ) y – 5 = ¾(x + 3) 4y – 20 = 3x + 9 3x – 4y + 29 = 0 Notice both equations start with 3x – 4y

3. Perpendicular lines Lines that are perpendicular meet at 90°. The relationship we use is: To show lines are perpendicular we use: m 1 m 2 = –1 If we know the lines are perpendicular and need the second gradient we use: Another way of thinking about this is the second gradient is the negative reciprocal of the first.

4. Example 2 Show the lines 3x + 6y + 22 = 0 and y = 2x + 13 are perpendicular. 3x + 6y + 22 = 0 6y = –3x – 22 y = –½x – 3 2 / 3  m 1 = –½ y = 2x + 13  m 2 = 2 m 1 m 2 = –½ × 2 = –1  The lines are perpendicular

5. Example 3 Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to 3x – 5y + 15 = 0 passes through the point (3, 4). 3x – 5y + 15 = 0 5y = 3x + 15 y = 3 / 5 x + 3  m 1 = 3 / 5 y – y 1 = m(x – x 1 ) y – 4 = – 5 / 3 (x – 3) 3y – 12 = –5x + 15 5x + 3y – 27 = 0
